It is the battle of winless teams in Pool B. Both team suffered almost a similar blowout from their respective opponents. Statistics below show the strengths and weakness of two teams.
Philippines displayed good serving skills against Qatar having 5 aces out of 54 tries. On the other hand, India was not able to score an ace in 53 attempts.
However, the U23 Philippine team must limit their errors both in serving and attacking. Philippines rank last in terms of spiking converting just 1 point out of 5 attempts. THey also need to compensate their height disadvantage with better timing in blocks and consistent digging and receptions.
This is a must needed win for both teams if they want to advance to the quarterfinals. We expect a very close game between the two.
